TORONTO, May 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lift & Co. Corp. ("Lift & Co." or the "Company") (TSXV: LIFT) (OTCQB: LFCOF)—the company behind Canada’s largest cannabis consumer and industry trade shows—is today announcing the launch of the first annual Canadian Cannabis Week (“CCW”). CCW is a week-long series of public and industry events leading up to the Lift & Co. Cannabis Business Conference and Expo Toronto 2019, taking place on the final weekend from June 6-9.

“Our signature events, the Lift & Co. Cannabis Business Conference and Expo, have become a calendar staple for Canadian and international cannabis business leaders and consumers,” said Nick Pateras, Vice President of Strategy, Lift & Co. “The industry naturally started to extend our show beyond the walls of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre with stand-alone events. With Canadian Cannabis Week, we are bringing greater cohesiveness to this momentous week for the industry and consumers.”

Canadian Cannabis Week is kicking off in Toronto as a hub for individually hosted cannabis events from June 3-9, 2019, as the Canadian and international cannabis industries descend on the city for the Lift & Co. Cannabis Expo. Organizations across the country are invited to submit their events for inclusion in Canadian Cannabis Week at ccwevents.ca. Listed events will receive additional exposure as part of the official Canadian Cannabis Week program.
